VeriMomIs polyacrylate crosspolymer-11 safe for baby skin?
Hazard and mechanism remain unsupported by data. Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (per instruction) because infant skin has higher absorption potential and although the polymer is high‑MW and largely non‑absorbable, some potential for low but measurable exposure to residual low‑MW material/impurities exists. No infant‑specific reproductive or developmental toxicity reported.
